The Baring buds of Le May

Article Abstract:

It is important to only take on relationships where value can be added, according to ING Barings' Malcolm Le May. ING Barings' investment banking activities will focus on playing a role in consolidating home markets, expanding companies for equity capital markets opportunities and undertaking cross-border deals between home markets. He feels that ING Barings has the best equities origination and distribution in Asia, so can achieve things in that region that other banks cannot. He believes that the European merger and acquisition boom has only just begun.

Advisers in the hunt after red October

Article Abstract:

There were mixed fortunes for advisors on acquisition and merger deals in the UK in Oct 1997. The month began very well, but financial markets were extremely precarious in the second half of the month. The value of deals in the period to Oct 13, 1997, was 636 billion pounds sterling, from 650 billion pounds sterling for the whole of 1996. Key deals currently under negotiation include WorldCom's 18.6 billion pounds sterling bid for MCI, which should bring revenues of around $100 million for Salomon Brothers.

Profile: Philip Keevil

Article Abstract:

British-born financial adviser Philip Keevil is responsible for coordinating the European function of brokerage firm Salomon Smith Barney (SSB), which was formed in September 1997 after Salomon Brothers was purchased for 5.6 million pounds sterling by Travelers. One of SSB's largest deals has been the re-organization of General Motors $27 billion autoparts and defence electronics sectors. Keevil believes SSB's strength lies in the quality of managers it has chosen to run individual departments.
